Based on a case study of Lithuania, this chapter examines how public discourse tends to focus on complex, transnational cybercrimes, while actual court practice prioritises minor fraud and deception based on social engineering—that is, exploiting people’s trust rather than technical expertise. Such offences are most often committed by less-educated individuals with prior criminal convictions. Owing to their social and economic position, these offenders are more likely to be subjected to criminal liability, even when the harm caused is significantly lower than that associated with large-scale cybercrime. The chapter suggests that this selective prosecution contributes to maintaining an illusion of order and reinforces control over those who are most visible and least capable of defending themselves. This perspective supports the view that criminal justice systems do not always address the greatest threats to society but often operate according to a logic in which the heaviest burden falls on the most accessible social groups.
